Enartis Vinquiry has two new blends of the co-polymer PVI/PVP, yeast derivatives with immediately available mannoproteins, sulfur containing amino acids and oligopeptides that can be added at the onset of fermentation to white and rosé wines to remove copper and boost aromas. Enartis Pro FT is recommended for the protection of primary aromas of thiolic varieties and Enartis Pro XP is for non-thiolic varieties. According to the supplier, the co-polymer binds to metals and settles out while the amino acids and oligopeptides provide a substrate for yeast with beta-lyase to produce thiols.

The Tow and Blow wind machine was developed in New Zealand and is now for sale in the U.S. through Chamberlin Agriculture. The machine is designed to protect fruit and other crops from freezing temperatures, frost and excessive heat. An aerodynamically designed, composite shroud design increases airflow to protect up to 10 acres from frost and 3 acres from heat. The fan is powered with a small engine that requires 1.5 gallons of fuel per hour, while the hydraulic lift and rotating mechanism are powered by DC power packs with a solar panel to provide backup power. An auto start mechanism can be set to start the fan at specified temperatures, and at 5.5 feet wide the machine should fit between most vineyard or orchard rows. towandblowusa.com
